Wow, I really liked this -- you have a knack for building not just moments but days, grounding Jim and Pam in moments that are really them, without rehashing what we saw onscreen.  Michael's absentminded tenderness when he says Pam's silly nickname!  And the whole Elvish section, and French, and carpe diem.  I like how this is a slow build, just like Jim and Pam.  Very nice. :)

Author's Response: Wow. Thank you! That's really wonderful feedback, because it's exactly what I was going for, so it's very gratifying to know that it comes across to others.

I totally love this, every single piece of it.  Karen calling Jim a girl! ('cause he so is.)  Angsty Pam in her pretty dress and the way you can be sad at a party.  Girls night out WITH KISSING!  The Michael line about not falling for two women at once was AMAZING, so ironic and hilarious and true to the show.  And Pam and Karen's Cameron Diaz movie is *perfect*, and the Andy line had me in stitches.  "Seriously, Jim."  SO GREAT.

NICE.  You build this really well, Karen slowly realizing things (I *looove* her suddenly *getting* why Pam is so attractive).  And how it's still angsty, not all candy-coated, but also *hot*. And heee, the Christmas party hijinx.  Well done through and through!


Author's Response: Not candy-coated was what I was going for. Hot too, of course. Thank you!

Author's Response: Thank you! And thanks very much for the recs on scranton_times as well, I was very pleasantly surprised when I wandered over there this morning. :)

This is so clever and well done!  Love these little glimpses into all the characters and the way they all transition/link together.  "Just two completely heterosexual men having some fun." made me completely crack up.    I also really like Ryan's insights into Kelly as someone genuine, and  the last line of the Jim/Jan section, and Karen having brothers and aww, TOBY.

Man, I can't believe I never left feedback on this, because I love it SO MUCH. The first Stanley part alone was so good I was kind of devastated when it was over -- in just a couple of paragraphs it was THE Stanley fic I've been waiting for. And then it just gets better and better--! *Especially* Meredith, "That is it possible to love them deeply, to be willing to die for them in a heartbeat, and yet find them in some essential way distasteful." and Karen not being able to envision Jim being unironic, and MICHAEL (of COURSE he likes America's Funniest Home Videos) and JAN (so, so sad) and TOBY with that tiny glimmer of hope, and Ryan knowing that Kelly doesn't like The Daily Show and then the gorgeous Jim and Pam bits, that beautiful last line. Also the weird poetry of the whole Creed section, so lovely in only two sentences.



Plus I LOVE all the pop culture shoutouts. Cloud Atlas! Architecture in Helsinki! Grey's Anatomy! Spot on every one. Um, please write more, the end.
